Richard Strauss: Capriccio - Semperoper Dresden
Capriccio is the final opera by Richard Strauss, completed in 1942, and is subtitled "A Conversation Piece for Music." The opera explores the debate between the importance of words and music through the story of Countess Madeleine, who is courted by a poet and a composer, ultimately leaving the question of which art form is superior unresolved.
Directed by Jens Daniel Herzog · Written by Richard Strauss
